The Iroquois lived in their longhouses.
When a new Iroquois husband joined his wife’s family, the clan simply made the longhouse longer by adding more bent saplings to the frame and elm bark slabs to the roof. A clan's family totem would be displayed on the doorway.

Up to twenty families might live in one longhouse of the Iroquois. A longhouse was one family, but not the family as western people understand it. It was centred on a woman, the matriarch of the house, and included her children and her husband and anybody who was a sister, brother, sister-by-marriage or brother-by-marriage, and all the nephews or nieces of the matriarch.
Since there were several families in one longhouse and only one cooking area...there was little other to choose from. As each family had their own responsibilities it took all to bring the meal.
